America built the world's most powerful rocket

NASA has introduced a project to build the largest and most powerful missile in the history of space travel. This missile can send spacecraft not only to Earth's orbit but also to other planets in the solar system.

>>>Non-fatal missiles were born

It is a project called Space Launch System (Space Launch System abbreviated SLS) , with the content to design and manufacture two types of missiles, one for manned ships and one for transporting materials. , equipment up space.

According to the Rbc page, manned missiles and SLS transport missiles compared to the powerful rocket Saturn V once brought American astronauts to the Moon with 10% and 20% more thrust. .

Initially, they will build a 'passenger' improved rocket that will be used to install the multi-purpose ship (Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, called Orion), to replace the Shuttle program that decided to mark stop. The missile has a load of 70 tons, equipped with solid fuel accelerator and crew rescue system in case of an accident when the launch starts.

The second type - the carrier missile, with a load of up to 130 tons, the accelerator can use solid or liquid fuel. NASA notes that the strongest transport missile has only been loaded onto a low orbit around the Earth with a load of 25 tons.

In the SLS missiles will apply the principle of the module. That means they will build individual standardized parts from stairs, accelerators, engines, etc. then assemble depending on the task set, thus saving a lot of vehicles when Prepare to launch and significantly reduce costs and manufacturing time. NASA general manager Charles Bolden promised the first SLS rocket will be launched in 2017.

According to Senator Bill Nelson, who participates in the SLS program, in the next five years, the state will allocate a budget of 18 billion dollars to the project. This money is only used for research and testing of missiles, not including production costs. The total cost for the program, according to an unnamed source, will double to $ 35 billion.
